"Rachel's Challenge" Speaker Coming to Hamilton Fine Arts Center
The first Get Connected program of the school year will feature Colleen Kirk, a presenter from “Rachel’s Challenge.”
Rachel Scott was the first person killed in the Columbine High School tragedy on April 20, 1999. She left behind an amazing legacy and a simple challenge to anyone who will accept it — treat others with kindness and compassion and you just may change the world you live in.
When Colleen Kirk was in middle school she watched Rachel’s funeral live on CNN. Deeply captivated by Rachel’s story, she hoped that one day she would be able to share this message with others. As a speaker for Rachel’s Challenge, that dream has come true.
